<h3>Given</h3>

ΔABC
A(-3, -1), B(0, 3), C(1, 2)

the length of the perimeter of ΔABC to the nearest tenth

<h3>Solution</h3>

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides. The length of each side can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Effectively, each pair of points is treated as the end-points of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs parallel to the x- and y-axes. The leg lengths are the differences betweeen the x- and y- coordinates of the points.

The difference of the x-coordinates of segment AB are 0-(-3) = 3. The y-coordinate difference is 3-(-1) = 4. So, the leg lengths of the right triangle whose hypotenuse is segment AB are 3 and 4. The Pythagorean theorem tells us

... AB² = 3² +4² = 9 +16 = 25

... AB = √25 = 5

You may recognize this as the 3-4-5 triangle often introduced as one of the first ones you play with when you learn the Pythagorean theorem.

LIkewise, segment AC has coordinate differences of ...

... C - A = (1, 2) -(-3, -1) = (4, 3)

These are the same leg lengths (in the other order) as for segment AB, so its length is also 5.

Segment BC has coordinate differences ...

... C - B = (1, 2) -(0, 3) = (1, -1)

The length of the line segment is figured as the root of the sum of squares, even though one of the coordinate differences is negative. The leg lengths of the right triangle used for finding the length of BC are the absolute value of these differences, or 1 and 1. Then the length BC is

... BC = √(1² +1²) = √2 ≈ 1.4

So the perimeter of the triangle ABC is

... AB + BC + AC = 5 + 1.4 + 5 = 11.4 . . . . perimeter of ∆ABC in units

Please be aware that the advice to "round each step" is <em>bad advice,</em> in general. For real-world math problems, you only round the final result. You always carry at least enough precision in the numbers to ensure that there will not be any error in the final rounding.

In this problem, the only number that is not an integer is √2, so it doesn't really matter.

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis: $\mu_A =\mu_B =\mu C$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_i \neq \mu_j, i,j=A,B,C$

$SS_{total}=\sum_{j=1}^p \sum_{i=1}^{n_j} (x_{ij}-\bar x)^2 =20.5$

$SS_{between}=SS_{model}=\sum_{j=1}^p n_j (\bar x_{j}-\bar x)^2 =12.333$

$SS_{within}=SS_{error}=\sum_{j=1}^p \sum_{i=1}^{n_j} (x_{ij}-\bar x_j)^2 =8.16667$

And we have this property

$SST=SS_{between}+SS_{within}$

The degrees of freedom for the numerator on this case is given by $df_{num}=df_{within}=k-1=3-1=2$ where k =3 represent the number of groups.

The degrees of freedom for the denominator on this case is given by $df_{den}=df_{between}=N-K=3*6-3=15$ .

And the total degrees of freedom would be $df=N-1=3*6 -1 =15$

The mean squares between groups are given by:

$MS_{between}= \frac{SS_{between}}{k-1}= \frac{12.333}{2}=6.166$

And the mean squares within are:

$MS_{within}= \frac{SS_{within}}{N-k}= \frac{8.1667}{15}=0.544$

And the F statistic is given by:

$F = \frac{MS_{betw}}{MS_{with}}= \frac{6.166}{0.544}= 11.326$

And the p value is given by:

$p_v= P(F_{2,15} >11.326) = 0.00105$

So then since the p value is lower then the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we conclude that we have at least on mean different between the 3 groups.

b) $(\bar X_B -\bar X_C) \pm t_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_B}{n_B} +\frac{s^2_C}{n_C}}$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df = n_B +n_C -2= 6+6-2=10$

The confidence level is 99% so then $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ and the critical value would be: $t_{\alpha/2}=3.169$

The confidence interval would be given by:

$(43.333 -41.5) - 3.169 \sqrt{\frac{0.6667}{6} +\frac{0.7}{6}}= 0.321$

$(43.333 -41.5) + 3.169 \sqrt{\frac{0.6667}{6} +\frac{0.7}{6}}=3.345$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) "is used to analyze the differences among group means in a sample".

The sum of squares "is the sum of the square of variation, where variation is defined as the spread between each individual value and the grand mean"

Part a

Null hypothesis: $\mu_A =\mu_B =\mu C$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_i \neq \mu_j, i,j=A,B,C$

If we assume that we have $3$ groups and on each group from $j=1,\dots,6$ we have $6$ individuals on each group we can define the following formulas of variation:

$SS_{total}=\sum_{j=1}^p \sum_{i=1}^{n_j} (x_{ij}-\bar x)^2 =20.5$

$SS_{between}=SS_{model}=\sum_{j=1}^p n_j (\bar x_{j}-\bar x)^2 =12.333$

$SS_{within}=SS_{error}=\sum_{j=1}^p \sum_{i=1}^{n_j} (x_{ij}-\bar x_j)^2 =8.16667$

And we have this property

$SST=SS_{between}+SS_{within}$

The degrees of freedom for the numerator on this case is given by $df_{num}=df_{within}=k-1=3-1=2$ where k =3 represent the number of groups.

The degrees of freedom for the denominator on this case is given by $df_{den}=df_{between}=N-K=3*6-3=15$ .

And the total degrees of freedom would be $df=N-1=3*6 -1 =15$

The mean squares between groups are given by:

$MS_{between}= \frac{SS_{between}}{k-1}= \frac{12.333}{2}=6.166$

And the mean squares within are:

$MS_{within}= \frac{SS_{within}}{N-k}= \frac{8.1667}{15}=0.544$

And the F statistic is given by:

$F = \frac{MS_{betw}}{MS_{with}}= \frac{6.166}{0.544}= 11.326$

And the p value is given by:

$p_v= P(F_{2,15} >11.326) = 0.00105$

So then since the p value is lower then the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we conclude that we have at least on mean different between the 3 groups.

Part b

For this case the confidence interval for the difference woud be given by:

$(\bar X_B -\bar X_C) \pm t_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_B}{n_B} +\frac{s^2_C}{n_C}}$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df = n_B +n_C -2= 6+6-2=10$

The confidence level is 99% so then $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ and the critical value would be: $t_{\alpha/2}=3.169$

The confidence interval would be given by:

$(43.333 -41.5) - 3.169 \sqrt{\frac{0.6667}{6} +\frac{0.7}{6}}= 0.321$

$(43.333 -41.5) + 3.169 \sqrt{\frac{0.6667}{6} +\frac{0.7}{6}}=3.345$

Kim is reading a book with 380 pages. She read 20 pages each day until she reached Part 2 of the book. Part 2 of the book is 160

Talja [164]

Answer:

11 days

Step-by-step explanation:

first you subtract the 160 from 380 becuase thats a different part than you divide that number by 20 pages a day and end up with 11 days it took

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

C, D, and E

Step-by-step explanation:

85-20=65

t>65

This means all the numbers greater than 65.

Do not include 65 because it is not a greater than or equal to symbol.

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.
